Assuming that all of Florida has the delta variant, right now 53% of all adult ICU patients is with COVID-19, and the total people in hospitals with COVID is about 79 per 100K. So I don’t understand why anyone thinks this variant is less dangerous. https://www.fha.org/covid-19.html https://www.fha.org/covid-19.html
- ls612 5y agoLess dangerous on an average individual level, more dangerous since its so contagious and can infect every last unvaccinated person who doesn't have antibodies (and a few who do).
- pama 5y agoI haven’t seen any credible evidence yet that delta is less dangerous at the individual level than alpha or than the original virus. We know that if a person is vaccinated, then exposure to the original variant is less dangerous than exposure to delta (based on limited controlled studies).
- ls612 5y agoIt’s less dangerous on an individual level because most individuals are vaccinated and most of those who aren’t are in low risk groups
